Application filed September 27, 1919, Serial No. 326,701. Renewed January 14, 1924.-

To all whom it may concern;

Be it known that I, ALEssANnRo TARABOR- RELLI, residing at Providence, in tle, county of Providence and State of Rhode Island, have invented new and useful Improvements in Cigarette Holders, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to cigarette holders, and the principal object of the invention is to provide clamping'means for clamping the cigarette to hold the same in place.

, 1 "Another object of the invention is to make the device in the shape of a human being, using the arms as the clamping jaws and the legs the means for" working the jaws.

The invention also consists in certain other features of construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, to be-hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings "and specifically pointed out in the appended claim.

In describing my invention in detail, reference will be had to the accompanying drawings wherein like characters denote like or corresponding parts throughout the several views, and 1n which Figurel is a side view of the device;

Figure 2 is a lan view;

Figure 3 is a p an view with parts in sec- In these views 1 indicates a tube having a mouth-piece 2 formed at one end and its other'end adapted to receive the ci arettel On top of this tube is located the gure 3 1 which is formed of two halves by dividing the figure longitudinally. A pin 6 is secured to the tube and each half of the figure is provided witha perforated projecting part 5 for engaging said pin so that the two parts of the figure are pivota1ly'sup ported u on the tube. A spring 8 is carried by t e in 6 and has its extremities engaging the egs 7 of the figure, this spring tending to press the upper parts of the two halves of the figure together with the arms 4 engaging the cigarette. When it is desired to remove the cigarette from the holder it is sim 1y necessary .to press inwardly upon the egs 7 to separate the arms of the figure. to cause them to release the ci arette.

It is thought from the foregoin escription that the advanta es and nove features of m invention will e readil apparent.

I desire it to be understoo thatI may make changes in the construction and in 5 the combination and arrangement of the several parts, provided that such chan es fall within the scope of the appended clalm.

What I claim is:

A holder of the class described compris ing a tube, a pin projecting therefrom, a

body divided longitudinall into two halves, with each half pivoted on t e pin intermediate the ends, clampin members at the front ends of said halves, andle members at the 6 rear ends oi said halves (and-spring means on the pin and engaging the lower parts of the halves) for forcing the clampin -members into engagement with the artic e held by the tube.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.

ALESSANDRO TARABORRELLI.
